Approaches that seek to examine, challenge and transform the underlying causes of gender inequalities rooted in discriminatory social structures. As such, gender-transformative approaches aim to address the unequal gendered power relations, discriminatory gender norms, attitudes, behaviours, and practices as well as discriminatory or gender-blind policies and laws that create and perpetuate gender inequalities. By doing so, these approaches seek to eradicate the systemic forms of gender-based discrimination by creating or strengthening equitable gender relations and social structures that support gender equality.
